Switching the eBike system on/off
The following options are available for switching on
the eBike system:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on
when you insert it into the holder, the eBike system
will be automatically activated.
– When the on-board computer and the eBike battery
are inserted, briefly press the on/off button of the
on-board computer.
– With the on-board computer inserted, press the
on/off button on the eBike battery (some bicycle
manufacturer-specific solutions prevent access to
the battery on/off button; see the battery operating
instructions).
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedaling
(except for in the push assistance function or with the
assistance level OFF). The motor output depends on
which assistance level is set on the on-board com-
puter.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal opera-
tion, or as soon as you have reached a speed of
20/28 mph, the eBike drive unit switches off the as-
sistance. The drive is automatically re-activated as
soon you start pedaling again and the speed is below
20/28 mph.

The following options are available for switching off
the eBike system:
– Press the on/off button of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button
(some bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions pre-
vent access to the battery on/off button; see the bi-
cycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If no power is drawn from the eBike drive for about
10 minutes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving)
and no button is pressed on the on-board computer
or the operating unit of the eBike, the eBike system,
and therefore also the battery, will switch off auto-
matically to save energy.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear shifting sys-
tems into the eBike system. The eShift components
are electrically connected to the drive unit by the
manufacturer. The separate operating instructions
describe how to operate the electronic gear-shifting
systems.
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder (4), a suffi-
ciently charged battery is inserted in the eBike and
the eBike system is switched on, then the on-board
computer is powered by the battery of the eBike.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(4), the energy is supplied via an internal battery. If
the internal battery is weak when the on-board com-
puter is switched on, <Attach to bike> will appear on
(3)
the text indicator (d) for 3 s. The on-board computer
will then turn off again.
To charge the internal battery, put the on-board com-
puter back in the holder (4) (when a battery is in-
serted in the eBike). Switch the eBike battery on by
its on/off button (see battery operating instructions).
You can also charge the on-board computer via the
USB port. To do this, open the protective cap (8).
Connect the USB port (7) of the on-board computer
via a suitable USB cable to a standard USB charger or
the USB port of a computer (5 V charging voltage,
max. 500 mA charging current). <USB connected>
will appear on the text indicator (d) of the on-board
computer.

Powering external devices from the USB
port
The USB port can be used to operate or charge most
devices that can be powered via USB (e.g. various
mobile phones).
Charging requires the on-board computer to be
mounted and a sufficiently charged battery to be in-
serted in the eBike.
Open the protective cap (8) for the USB port on the
on-board computer. Use a Micro-A – Micro-B USB
charging cable (available from your Bosch eBike
dealer) to connect the USB port on the external de-
vice to the USB port (7) on the on-board computer.
Once the electrical load has been disconnected, the
USB port must be carefully resealed with the protec-
tive cap (8).
A USB connection is not a watertight plug connec-
tion. When cycling in wet conditions, ensure no
external devices are connected and that the USB
port is fully covered by the protective cap (8).
Attention: Any electrical devices connected can re-
duce the range of the eBike.
Switching on/shutting down the on-board
computer
To switch on the on-board computer, briefly press
the on/off button (5). The on-board computer can
also be switched on when it is not inserted in the
holder (if the internal battery is sufficiently charged).

To switch off the on-board computer, press the on/

If the on-board computer is not inserted in the holder,
it automatically switches off after 1 minute to save en-
ergy if no button is pressed.

Battery charge indicator
The battery charge indicator (i) displays the state of
charge of the eBike battery, not that of the on-board
computer's internal battery. The state of charge of the
eBike battery can also be checked on the LEDs of the
battery itself.
Each bar of the battery symbol on the indicator (i)
represents approximately 20 % of the capacity:
The eBike battery is fully charged.
The eBike battery should be recharged.
The LEDs of the battery charge indicator
on the battery go out. The capacity for as-
sisting the drive has been used up, and as-
sistance is gently switched off. The re-
maining capacity is made available for the
lighting and the on-board computer. The
indicator flashes. The capacity of the
eBike battery is enough for about two
hours of lighting. This does not account
for other consumers (e.g. automatic gear-
box, charging external devices from the
USB port).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(4), the last displayed state of charge of the battery is
saved. If an eBike is powered by two batteries, the
battery charge indicator (i) displays the state of
charge of both batteries.
